About Us

At US Valve Corp., we specialize in manufacturing a diverse range of high-quality industrial check valves, including elastomer-hinge, wafer-style dual disc, single disc, axial flow wafer, silent check valves, as well as medical ball and check valves. Our products serve medical, industrial, and commercial applications and are marketed under the trusted brands US Valve, Champion Valve, and Technocheck.

As a growing company supported by a respected S&P 500-traded parent, we offer the agility and innovation of a smaller business while benefiting from the financial stability and corporate backing of an industry leader. We are seeking a highly organized, hands-on Production Coordinator to drive seamless material flow, efficient order handling, and uphold our strong culture of safety across our manufacturing operation.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-brand environment—where attention to detail, a sense of urgency, and cross-functional coordination are essential to keeping production moving and ensuring our team members work safely every day. If you excel at balancing operational execution with safety accountability, and you’re energized by working on the production floor, this is the opportunity to make a direct impact while benefiting from the support and strength of a well-established industry leader.

Job Summary

The Production Coordinator plays a critical role in ensuring seamless material flow across a newly consolidated operation. This position is central to the successful integration of two brands into one shared manufacturing space, with particular focus on supporting the fast-paced, high-urgency processes required by Champion Valves — known for its speed and responsiveness.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role on the production floor. While this position does not lead site-wide EH&S programs, it is essential that the Production Coordinator consistently champions safe work practices and reinforces safety as a top priority for themselves and others.

• Maintain exceptional real-time communication between production, inventory, and shipping/receiving to manage shifting needs from both businesses.

• Understand each value stream’s unique scheduling, packaging, and vendor requirements — customizing material flow processes to meet them.

• Operate forklifts and order pickers to pull, stage, and store materials.

• Deliver parts to cells and remove finished goods for shipping.

• Collaborate with value stream leads to monitor production schedules and address material shortages.

• Support physical inventory and cycle counts to ensure accurate inventory records.

Safety Awareness & Accountability

• Consistently model safe work behaviors on the production floor.

• Participate in and support safety audits, observations, and improvement initiatives led by the site EH&S team.

• Immediately report unsafe conditions or behaviors and take action to prevent incidents.

• Reinforce PPE use, safe material handling, and adherence to safety policies as part of daily operations.

Qualifications
